I was also wandering how people did this. I have not dig deep enough into this problem yet. But I was wanting to do this with out any cosy(dyn dns service) I do have a domain. Is there a way for my Myth box to ftp the current dyn ip to my web server so it always know how to get to my myth box?

If you run your own DNS servers, I whipped up a script to do something
similar a few years ago - it's on my site (v2gnu.com), in the files
called "Notify if IP has changed). Basically takes it's DNS name
(home.yourdomain.com) and sees if the DHCP IP matches what DNS is
reporting. If it does not, it FTP's a message to a FTP server with the
new IP address. You can script from there to update your DNS. My IP
only changed once every couple months, so I just did it by hand at the
time.<br>
I've got static IPs now, so I never got around to polishing the script
anymore than that.<br>
